Vegas FFXIV Fan Fest: So how close are we to throwing down money for them tickets?

At this point it looks like you will be spending WAY more staying at Rio just because of Fan Festival.

Yes, that's what it looks like. The Rio jacked up the prices for their rooms by $100 each night the Fanfest takes place. (I'm guessing if the Rio did offer a "convention discount" it would probably be whatever the original, non con weekend rate would be.)

Seriously, it would be cheaper to rent a car, take a shuttle bus or taxi from another hotel than to stay at the Rio at this point. The Rio's not a bad place to stay, but if you're just looking for someplace to just sleep and shower there are much less expensive options in Vegas.

Having been to Vegas before, my suggestion would be stay at Bally's. They have a shuttle that takes you directly to the Rio (owned by same company and attached to the Paris effectively). Much cheaper if you need to save a few bucks. I personally want to stay at Rio if a possible discount exists so I can go drinking with FC mates and not worry about cabbing/shuttling somewhere to sleep.
